The trend in the early part of the season for the Sterling D-Legion team has been dealing with adversity.

Last week, after seeing a 4-2 lead turn into a 5-4 loss to Brush in the first game of a double-header, the Tigers rallied back to win the second game 8-2. Fast forward to Sunday during the final day of the Hi-Plains Classic where, after losing 12-3 and 7-6 in walk-off fashion to Sedgwick County on Saturday, the Sterling D-Legion team responded with a 9-8 extra-inning win to salvage a game against the Cougars.

The win was Sterling's second of the summer, improving its overall record to 2-5.

With football and basketball camps scheduled for Sterling athletes this week, the Legion baseball teams will have some time off before getting back on the diamond.

The D-Legion team's next game is scheduled for Sunday, June 15, when it goes on the road for a double-header against Strasburg, while the C-Legion team will host a double-header against Yuma on Saturday, June 14, and the B-Legion team will be off until Tuesday, June 17, when it travels to play a double-header against Monarch.
